TOPICS > Nation > memorial day. Nearly 500,000 military personnel died during the U.S. Civil War. Thatâs almost half of all Americans who have ever died during wartime, and more than a hundred times more than died during the American Revolution, according to the latest estimates from the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Coca-Cola (KO) owns Dasani and PepsiCo (PEP) owns the Aquafina line of bottled water. But they are running into a problem -- selling bottled water isn't very profitable, and there is a deeply competitive market responding quickly to shifting consumer tastes.
Aquafina is the single biggest bottled water brand, and its bottles are now labeled P.W.S.. The new labels will spell out public water source.. If this helps clarify the fact that the water originates from public sources, then it's a reasonable thing to do, PepsiCo pep spokeswoman Michelle Naughton said Friday.
